LOVE the DMA.

Just a really great day at the Dallas Museum of Art. Ms. Leah never disappoints. Always great classes and programming. Today Brooke and Lane llearned about two modern (1960s and 1970s) Japanese artists that were part of a group that set out to 'break all the rules'. One painted by swinging from a rope above his canvas and wiping through the paint with his feet. The other used gravity to paint. In the main painting of his we learned about, he painted his paper, then set it on an angle, poured turpentine on it, and came back later to see what happened. I thought it looked like a piece of Upo art that Mom does. 








We walked around the play spaces after Ms. Leah's class.












Still some snow around, but it was just barely warm enough, especially in the beautiful sun, to enjoy Klyde Warren Park, and ice cream cookies! "We think the ice cream cookie is going to be THIS big!"






Can you spot Lane? Playground was closed for some reason, so he ran laps.


Five hours. Great day.

German Delivery from Dear Friends!

We just received a package in the mail from Herlinde and Nick in Germany! What fun!
Lane smelled chocolate before he even opened the box! Thank you for the wonderful coloring books, games, jewelry, tattoos, and candy and for the translations on everything. Chad tasted the soap thinking it was spray candy (Brooke hadn't opened up her bottle with the translation on it yet :)!) It's fun to have dear friends across the ocean, and even more fun to get to have them visit this coming March! We can't wait!
